AWARD-WINNING AUSTRALIAN JOURNALIST Mark Mordue invites you on his world trip that ranges from a Rolling Stones concert in Istanbul to talking with mullahs and junkies in Tehran, and from a cricket match in Calcutta to an S&M bar in New York, in addition to many points in between. Mordue chronicles his year-long global journey with his girlfriend, Lisa Nicol, exploring countries most Americans never see as well as issues of world citizenship in the 21st century. Written in the tradition of literary journalism, Dastgah will take you to all kinds of places, across the world ... and inside yourself.
A brilliant and soulful biography of one of today's most acclaimed singer-songwriters, Nick Cave.
Darlinghurst Funeral Rites concerns Newcastle-born Mordue in his 20s, from his arrival in Sydney in 1981 to the middle of that decade.The Australian culture of the time derided tenderness in men. Mordue’s vulnerability, receptivity to art and social injustice marked him as an outsider, and the resulting sense of otherness has always informed his work.Mordue is familiar with profound and contained suffering. In this respect he is, perhaps, one of Australia’s truest beat poets, shaped not only by Walt Whitman, John Keats and WH Auden but also by Bob Dylan, Marc Bolan and the Jam, and with everything that entails.There is an integrity to the looseness [of his poems], a quality of space through which his yearning for love – can be sensed.-- fr. Antonella Gambotto-Burke, The Australian, reviewed 21 Oct., 2017
Major biography of modern rock icon, written with Nick Cave's input.
